:You are absolutely right. I accidentally overwrote the old Fellowship-Template containing the members of the Fellowship. But now I have moved the route to "Template:FellowshipRoute" and the members are again in "Template:Fellowship". So all should be correct now.

::Maybe the templates can be split up? "Route of the Fellowship in FotR", "Route of Fellowship in TTT" etc.? With the possibility of a "Route of Túrin Turambar", "Route of Bilbo Baggins", et cetera. -- [[User:Ederchil|Ederchil]] 15:49, 18 June 2008 (EDT)

:::I like the idea of separating it and having "Route of Character". But then again I do think a large "Route of the Fellowship" is good to see as well. I also like the idea of including the template(s) in the location articles. Maybe we need a "Follow the character" infobox, it then lists the characters who travelled to this location as well as where they came from and where they were going. --[[User:Hyarion|Hyarion]] 17:09, 18 June 2008 (EDT)

::::It's a fantastic idea to create one route for every single character. I also like the idea of an "Follow the character" infobox, although it surely means lots of work and will be difficult for often visited places like Minas Tirith.

:::::Should the [[Template:FellowshipRoute|Template]] be included in the location articles or should it only be included in the [[Fellowship of the Ring|article about the Fellowship]] (what is already done)?

There are naming rules when it comes to images: the name of the author correctly spelled and capitalized, followed by a space, a hyphen ("-"), another space, and then, again with proper punctuation and spelling, the official title (but Howe's postcards don't have that). So those two images should be aptly named "John Howe - Boromir 03" (as there are already two other pictures of Boromir in Howe's gallery) and "John Howe - Barad-dûr". Also be sure to add them to the categories "Category:Images by John Howe", "Category:Images of Boromir" and "Category:Images of Barad-dûr". Please note that TolkienGateway does not have a policy of favouring "big" artists like Alan Lee or John Howe; much more the opposite: small, independant artists deserve some screen-time too.

I may not have time to play anything but a WikiGnome, so I thought of you... -- Ederchil 17:33, 5 April 2008 (EDT)

Thank you for these great tips. I was already wondering where I could get information about dates, which are not mentioned in the Appendix of The Lord of the Rings. I think that especially tuckborough.net will help me very much.

I have just now added the 15th of April with the Battle of the Field of Celebrant. I will also try to fill all empty dates with descriptions of the situation, like Narfil did in January.

In the next weeks I will work on the events from The Hobbit which last more than a whole year. But I don't know any sources with events that happened on earth. Do you know some (e.g. with Dates from Tolkiens life)?

Yes, I do... in fact, I finished going through the Letters yesterday, searching for dates. I did it earlier for January through March, but that was limited to "Tolkien writes letter X" - I've got some interesting events out of it, though. I'm thinking of adding them this weekend (get them organized first). -- Ederchil 14:41, 18 April 2008 (EDT)

Isn't it better when the route of the Fellowship is made into a different template? Template:FellowshipRoute or something? -- Ederchil 06:32, 18 June 2008 (EDT)

You are absolutely right. I accidentally overwrote the old Fellowship-Template containing the members of the Fellowship. But now I have moved the route to "Template:FellowshipRoute" and the members are again in "Template:Fellowship". So all should be correct now.
